Tammy Abraham has officially joined Aston Villa from Besiktas, a move finalized just one day after his permanent transfer to the Turkish club from Roma. Besiktas had initially made Abraham's deal permanent for €13 million, but this was a strategic step that allowed them to profit from the subsequent sale to Aston Villa for €21 million. Abraham, who previously played for Aston Villa on loan during the 2018-19 season and helped them gain promotion to the Premier League, expressed his excitement about returning to the club. He stated that Aston Villa played a significant role in his development as a player and a person.
Abraham's career includes developing at Chelsea's academy and later playing for their first team. He then moved to Roma in 2021, where he scored 39 goals in 120 appearances and won the Conference League under José Mourinho. During his recent loan spell at Besiktas, the 28-year-old English forward, who has 11 international caps, scored 13 goals in 26 appearances. His return to Aston Villa places him in Unai Emery's squad, which is currently contending for the Premier League title.
